Serial Port Profiles

The TCP port that the IOLAN will use to listen for incoming connections.
Default: 10000 plus the serial port number, so serial port 5 would have a 
default of 10005

When this option is enabled, multiple hosts can connect to the serial device that 

is connected to this serial port.
Default: Disabled

Enable IP Aliasing Enables/disables the ability to access a serial device connected to the serial port 

by an IP address (or host name that can be resolved to the Internet Address in a 

DNS network) instead of the IOLAN’s IP address and port number.
Default: Disabled

Users can access serial devices connected to the IOLAN through the network 
by the specified Internet Address (or host name that can be resolved to the 

Internet Address in a DNS network).
Field Format: IPv4 or IPv6 Address

When enabled, the IOLAN initiates communication to the Workstation/Server.
Default: Disabled

The name (resolvable via DNS) or IP address of the configured host the 

IOLAN will connect to.

The TCP Port that the IOLAN will use to communicate to the client.
Default: 0

When enabled, allows a serial device connected to this serial port to 

communicate to multiple hosts. 
Default: Disabled

Click this button to define the hosts that this serial port will connect to. This 
button is also used to define the Primary/Backup host functionality.

If the serial port hardware parameters have been setup to monitor DSR or 

DCD, the host session will be started once the signals are detected. If no 

hardware signals are being monitored, the IOLAN will initiate the session 
immediately after being powered up.
Default: Enabled

Initiates a connection to the specified host when any data is received on the 

serial port.
Default: Disabled

Initiates a connection to the specified host only when the specified character is 

received on the serial port.
Default: Disabled

When enabled, the port name will be sent to the host upon session initiation

. 

This 

will be done before any other data is sent or received to/from the host
Default: Disabled

When this option is enabled, the connection can be initiated by either the 

IOLAN or a host.
Default: Disabled
